Episode 15: The Rich, Thin & Happy Delusion & Other Reflections from a Year of Traveling I'll be happy when {fill in the blank}. This is the biggest delusion we fall into as humans, thinking life will be better when you achieve a certain goal or manifest "the thing." Before I left on my year of travel I had this vision for myself for when I retuned home that I would be way thinner and have way more money. Well…A year has gone by and none of those are my current reality but I am way more happier and fulfilled than I have ever been. The freedom of unapologetically being myself and living my life the way I want to, feels way better than being thin and rich. For so much of my life I chased the external things looking for happiness and validation. When I started my business I used my business, signing clients and making money as a reasons to feel happy and worthy. But I learned in business everything can change in an instant and when you attach your happiness, validation and worth based on the amount you're making in your business…. Your happiness and worth will be dependent on their always being clients and money in order to feel good. What I learned on my year journey and who I have become is way more valuable than having the results of being thinner and richer. I've become the person who is happy, fulfilled, worthy regardless of what I weigh, how much I make, how many clients I have. And the best part is from this place I am able to create all those results and more! {And I will create them, just you watch} In this episode of The Rebel Soul Podcast I'm taking you behind the scenes how myself and my business completely transformed in one year. I'm going share with you the biggest lessons I learned and how you can apply them to your business and life now.

Interview Highlights   Fallacies Surrounding Public School Teaching you don’t want to get too well-educated or you won’t be hired Pete has never found that to be true in the various districts in which he has worked everyone wants the best person for the position most districts will do what they can to give you credit for your past experience the right person for the job is the right person or the department philosophy-wise and personality-wise people tend to focus too much on the nitty-gritty skills - it’s more about fit than anything you should be interviewing them as much as they are interviewing you replacing people that are: good and well-liked good and not well-liked not good and well-liked not good and not well-liked Skills are easy to teach - personality and philosophy are not people tend to not ask enough questions in job interviews Pete always want to be somewhere where the administration supported fine arts performers practicing their craft - this was a question he posed in his interviews look at the distribution of music teacher positions - are people full-time orchestra, part orchestra and part general music, etc? what degree does fundraising play in the school?  this can turn into a nightmare learning the other instruments as a music teacher Pete took two extra semesters of violin and viola music ed programs are not all requiring bass for music ed majors   Instrument Setup the condition that many school basses are in - so easy to totally neglect them a bass with action that is too high is a catastrophically worse situation for a young player than a violin with action too high setup considerations for school instruments  fingerboard bridge shaping the need for a proper luthier the extreme difficulty created for younger bass students by basses that are poorly set up the advances that D’Addario has made in strings recently for students   Life Planning investing vs. saving index funds Apps and programs Betterment Wealthfront Robin Hood IRAs Roth IRAs 403b investment programs for educators   Instrument Insurance get a separate policy apart from your homeowners or renters insurance - these may not cover your instrument at a paying gig Clairon Merz-Huber   Practicing Ideas teaching replacement fingerings the challenge for bass players of heterogeneous string teaching (starting in D major, for example) nothing beats Simandl for mapping out the fingerboard Thomas Gale’s book Practical Studies for Double Bass is great for younger students starts in 1st and 4th positions - allows for physical anchor point of thumb against the neck block  helps eliminate the “old-school bass vertigo" teaching shifting finding the goal note should not be a fishing expedition! Mathias Wexler article about shifting in American String Teacher journal: “Throwing The Dart and Other Reflections on Intonation” from the November 2004 issue of American String Teacher. this is a link to the shifting exercise Pete describes shifting practice play stop evaluate play correct note if not in tune repeat above procedure until shift lands right on   General Teaching Philosophies try to teach for 10 years down the road try to teach for the student’s next teacher set people up so that things don’t need to be fixed in the future having students nail a simpler piece versus struggle through a more difficult piece empathizing with your students don’t ask questions to “put students in their place" it’s never strings versus band versus choir - though there are doubles, there are “string kids,” “choir kids," and “band kids” - offering all programs brings music to a larger portion of the student body we remember the emotion of experiences - emotion drives attention drives learning   How Gigging Helps You to be a Better Teacher helps with empathy opportunity to observe other players opportunity to observe conductors being respectful of the student’s time   Listener Feedback Links: Pablo Aslan - tango bassist lloydgoldstein.com
